Thank you, this is pretty much what i was looking for ;)

@neutron
yeah, i think it makes a difference too. id like to point out that gnome isnt the only one with a human interface guideline, both apple and microsoft have one too.

@anon
kde uses the windows approach in that regard, which has its pluses and a few minuses(mostly that as soon as you leave or change apis your like a babe in the woods, not an insult or troll cause thats where i was about two months ago). a good HIG cannot be replaced by a component framework and common dialogues, because the focus of a good HIG should be user interaction rather then just look. what kde seems to have is a component framework and some usability guidelines which is more then enough, if developers read and understand em ;-)
